Almost apples and oranges. Overall sound quality and power gain at higher rpm easily goes to the TDX... it's a true dual system.

But if you're at all like me, well, I like my S-Tune as it's got a little deeper sound to it than stock but not anything annoying (as it's a factory piece) and throttle response is good; but powerwise, I sincerely doubt it's producing anything more than a couple of ponies. (Claimed 5-6bhp).

I love my S-Tune, but I think I'd have a hard time finding another one at this point.

I agree 100%. Had the S-Tune for almost 5 years now and it always puts a smile on my face.

If you decide to go with the S-Tune, you need to find used.

Also, if you ever decide on changing out the stock cats, the S-Tune Y-pipe is prone to cracking. Since you wouldn't be able to buy new, best option if you go Nismo route is MD XYZ Pipe with Nismo midpipe and muffler.

Nothing against the ART, it is a fantastic exhaust and probably would have been my second choice after the Nismo.

If you want loud and power, I would also look into Tomei if you don't mind the single look. That is the only exhaust I would trade my Nismo for.

Check out my sig for some good S-Tune music

It's preference, but I'd go with MotorDyne looks and sounds so frickin good in my opinion. I am bigger fan or single exhaust though. MD products are top quality though.
